Chapter 128 Hope and Betrayal
"Good evening, Charles."
"Good evening, Kenny."
Kenny Smith looked at the unconcealable smile on Barkley's face, and couldn't help joking: "Charles, did you win the lottery? Why do you look so happy."
"Oh? No, no, winning the lottery is impossible, you know, my luck is too bad!"
Having said that, Barkley paused, and said without waiting for Kenny Smith to speak, "Kenny, how about we make a bet? Last time we still had a bet that we didn't make."
Hearing this sentence, Kenny Smith couldn't help laughing. Looking at the smirk on Barkley's face, he certainly knew what this guy was thinking, so he refused without hesitation. Ignoring it, he took a sip of water and said slowly: "Who do you think will perform better today, LeBron James or Gao Tian?"
"This one……"
Hearing this question, Barkley hesitated for a moment. If he was asked to say which one is more optimistic about the Cavaliers or the Suns, whether it is personal feelings or objective strength comparison, he would definitely say the Suns. After all, the style of the Cavaliers is indeed easy to be restrained by the Suns, but let him say If James or Gao Tian has a better performance, it is really difficult.
After thinking for a while, Barkley said with some difficulty: "Although I like Gao Tian more, I think James' performance will be better."
"Oh?"
Kenny Smith was a little surprised when he heard this. He originally thought that Barkley would talk about Gao Tian, but now it seems that Barkley is still very sensible!
The audience in front of the TV was stunned when they heard this. Everyone knew Barkley's position. Originally they thought that Barkley would slap James hard before the game, but they didn't expect Barkley to be so serious. It's really rare that "Gao Chuan" will become a "Zhan Chuu"!
And in an ordinary room in the small town of San Antonio, Popovich, who was watching TV, also let out a cold snort when he heard this sentence. Although Buckley's words were unexpected, they were also reasonable. middle.
Whether it is from the team or the individual, James will perform better than Gao Tian in this game, and the statistics will be even more impressive.
The advantage of the Cavaliers is the rotation defense inside. Their inside defense efficiency ranks fourth in the league, but their outside offense ranks last in the league, because they can't even come up with a complete set of offensive tactics. Of course, as As an assistant coach brought out by himself, Popovich still has confidence in Brown's strength.
The Cavaliers’ offense is so poor. On the one hand, it’s because Brown is a strong defensive coach. On the other hand, it’s also because the Cavaliers really don’t have any players who can score besides James. Their team talent is really bad. !
Ask yourself, even if Popovich goes to the Cavaliers, he can't train the Cavaliers much better than the current Cavaliers. The upper limit of this team is too low!
As for the Suns, both their lower limit and upper limit are very high. Although the Cavaliers will not be defeated by the Suns so easily. After all, their internal strength is still quite good, but they still have some distance to beat the Suns.
If you want to beat the Suns, the number one star of the Cavaliers is also the only star. James must show his strongest strength. Popovich can foresee that James, who averages 40 minutes per game this season, will probably play a full game. , if it is someone else, once they play a full game, they will probably have no physical strength in the end, but James is really a freak!
And Gao Tian doesn't have to work so hard in the Suns. He has very good teammates like Nash and Stoudemire, and the team's supporting roles are also very good. He can paddle most of the time in the game. , Only at the last moment will he control the ball a lot, so obviously, James' statistics will definitely be better than Gao Tian.
Thinking of James' tough body, Popovich couldn't help but salivate. Such a player is really great. It is completely possible to build a championship-level team around such a player. No matter how weak a team is, there is James. Such a player can be brought into the playoffs. The current Cavaliers lineup is too incompatible with James, and it is impossible to fully utilize James' ability!
Popovich keenly felt the value of James, but obviously the Cavaliers were still ignorant. Although Brown was his disciple, Popovich obviously did not intend to tell him that although the Cavaliers were located in the east, he did not I don't want to create a big enemy for myself for no reason!
And Brown...
Thinking of this student, he feels helpless. Brown is a perfect assistant coach, but he is not a qualified head coach. He is still far from a qualified head coach. I hope he can find this problem by himself one day.
……
While warming up, Gao Tian thought about what he saw when he came to Cleveland. The population is average, the economy is average, and there are almost no entertainment items here. It is indeed a small town that can't realize his ambition at all. No wonder James finally Will leave the South Coast, after all, here is too small.
Although this is LeBron's hometown, the pool is too small. When James' strength has fully reached the top, his ambition needs a bigger stage, and he needs stronger teammates to help him realize this dream.
This is the tragedy of small city teams!
Stars who have worked hard for several years to force the team to trade themselves when the contract expires or even before the contract expires, they will not be able to retain the star after all.
But it’s okay now. The biggest wish of most of the stars trained by themselves is to end their careers here. Even if they don’t have a championship for life, they can achieve a good story, but it will be different in the future.
Thinking about the atmosphere of superstars in the future, Gao Tian couldn't help but glanced at James who was sitting on the sidelines. Although he personally didn't hate James as a player, he did bring a bad atmosphere to the league.
Three All-Stars who are at their peak start, take the initiative to cut their salaries and form a team. This is the first time in NBA history!
This undoubtedly pointed out a broad road for all the stars of the teams in small cities. James used his actions to tell all the players how they should go if they want to win the championship. This is touching for contemporary players, because This is the first person to eat crabs.
And there is no doubt that this kind of behavior will only make those players who are eager to win the championship happy, and they will be very headaches for both league executives and team owners!
Because this makes it impossible for their small teams to retain their stars, and how can they attract fans if the record in the small ball market is not good?
Only stars!
The star's departure will undoubtedly cause a huge blow to the small ball market. This is what the top management of the league does not want to see, and many old players also criticize James' behavior. In their view, this behavior is a betrayal!
Shouldn't winning the championship be based on one's own strength and then lead and train one's own team to win the championship?
He broke the rules!
